I don't like this automatic disdain for everything we are either. It's one thing to criticize what's wrong, and another to disown everything that shaped you. I simply don't identify with the "State" that claims to represent me, but I deeply value my culture and the legacy of the civilization that sustains us, with its lights and shadows.
